Navigating snow living in a van | a woodland surprise

Having a dog makes everything so much better :) they are full of love and sometimes comedians lol

[@linda6725]

A shining light you are to me and so many more Rowan. Continued blessings and health to you and sweet Ruby ❤❤❤

[@caro_es]

What a beautiful idea, decorating a tree for the birds ❤

[@renitanewman6701]

Beautiful as usual. Love to see the world through you and Ruby's eyes. You move around, but you seem like a stable, grounded person. That speaks volumes about your character. ❤Merry Christmas to you both!! Love your bird feeders as well. I think of the birds, and always think of the song, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" You're feeding God's creatures out of the goodness of your heart. ❤

Best of the holidays to you and Ruby, Rowan! Cheers to a wonderful 2025! ❤ 🎄 🐦

I’m living out of my Subaru Forester since November 1st with my fur baby since November 1st. It’s funny watching you as I’m doing my laundry. Then you said “I’m going to go do laundry and go get coffee “ lol I’m on my way to the park to get my steps in with my baby. Don’t you feel liberated? Thank you for inspiring, along with other solo females I watch on KZbin. Truly gave me the courage to fly! All of my love and gratitude to you and ruby ❤

[@turtlegram31656]

Have a wonderful , peaceful, and safe Holiday. 🎄☃️You and Ruby are a blessing to each other, and to us ⭐️💫

[@joanndavis4843]

A very relaxing and enjoyable video. You started it by saying it was simple. I'm glad it stayed that way. You brought your viewers along trudging in the snow with Ruby, both getting your steps in. A simple meal, some French press, a nap with a good book and rounding up the day with a nature inspired project and gratitude. The quiet jingling bells and a candle conveyed a nice effect at the end. Merry Christmas to you too 🎄.

Awww ❤ Rowan and Ruby this is my favorite video you’ve ever done ~ from the fun you and Ruby had running and exploring in the dog park and playing in the snow to decorating the pretty tree adorned with beautiful homemade ornaments to the eggnog coffee to the orange spice candle. 🕯️ so heartwarming.

I love how you buckle Ruby in when you drive. I don't see ppl do that very much. I just took a 3-day driving trip.. did the Ave of the Giants and The Lost Coast Drives.. and I put harnesses on my dogs and buckled them in too. I just had this thought that if I had to break hard for some reason, I didn't want them flying through the window. New subscriber here, enjoying your videos! Hello from Sacramento, CA.!

[@dianewolfe3056]

Are dogs safe buckled in the van passenger seat if there is an air bag, I turn my seat around So it faces into the coach.

[@Jodie_Marie]

@@dianewolfe3056 - oh I didn't even think about that.. true! - if there is an airbag prob not good idea. My dogs were in the backseat.. they are both smaller dogs and just seemed more stable for them in backseat.

It’s amazing that people want to tell you how you should live …and how to take care of your family… the nerve. You do you and let them worry about their lives. Pease and blessings ❤❤

[@judyclark8653]

Ruby jumping through deep snow was a riot - loved this video because of all the outdoor exercise you guys got. You might stick a few toothpicks or sticks in the apples for perches, but a cute idea. Not sure what state you were in but it has wonderful spacious dog parks. Not like the ones in NJ that are small fenced in boring places that I never take dogs to. We do have nice preserves that you can walk dogs in but they need to be leashed.

[@karinjudge7277]

Sweet gesture with the apples and decorations. God bless you Rowan. We love your channel. Thanks for all you do 🎄🙏😊

[@jenniferdyke3335]

The older we get, the more "interesting" life becomes. I know you had a rough year with some very sad times, but that's what I mean about life becoming more interesting as we get older. More stuff just happens, and we also learn that there isn't much we can control. Still, as you said, there are many good things, too. The little home you've made for yourself, Ruby and the beauty you see around you every day in your travels are three things you can count on! I hope you have a peaceful, restful Christmas and all the best for the new year! -- Jennifer from Michigan❤️💚❤️

[@jillhogan2611]

This idea of the bird feeders is wonderful. We would hang up some of the ones we made but the squirrels would overtake them! Our yard always the adversary work between the birds and squirrels, it's funny to watch them!

I loved, loved, loved this video Rowan! All of your videos are good, but I love the way you decorated the tree by feeding birds and other animals at the same time. The adventures you and Ruby experience are so heartwarming. I hope the holidays are good for you and Ruby. Stay safe……

[@cindianspach8126]

What a wonderful idea not only are you decorating the tree and feeding the birds, but I was thinking also possibly the deer (Idk if Oregon has deer, maybe I should say bear, lol) might like the apples too. Ruby just loved the snow so much she done tuckered herself out when she was sleeping/napping on your bed. She is so beautiful. Her eyes speak volumes. I'm looking forward to the live on Wednesday. Stay safe, warm and enjoy your holiday Rowan and Ruby. 🙂

Blessings to you as you navigate the holidays without your mom and dad. You are seen and appreciated for showing up even when it's difficult. I bet Ruby is a Godsend... I know she sure cheers me up.

[@annasnewchapter1033]

You are a good person. I believe it was a great choice to allow Ruby to save you. She has helped you heal & ❤ again after the passing of your mom. My 16 yr old passed last year and My mom passed almost 10 years ago. When Bonita passed it was like losing my mom all over again. I got a cat almost 3 years and Bonita and him had a beautiful relationship. Some things she did he does. The funny thing I still used my moms winter jacket to cover up because it's so warm. When I lay it on the bed, Joshman will jump on the bed to lay on it and if that jacket is not on the bed he will not get on the bed. I think he feels the ❤ she gave Bonita. Everything happens for reason and we gotta keep moving forward and always be thankful for what we have & had in our life... Happy Holidays to you & Ruby!!! 🎄 🎁
